Can panic attacks cause depression?

Question

Also, can you develop panic attacks suddenly?

Answer 1

Yes I have to agree Panic/anxiety and depression go together, I've had both for many years.

NEXIUM is a drug I take for gastric reflux not depression.

Answer 2

Usually panic attacks and depression go hand in hand. If you are having anxiety attacks, chances are you might already have a mild form of depression. Yes, panic attacks can and usually do happen suddenly. It could be triggered by the death of a loved one, or some other situation and goes down hill from there. I'd talk to your doctor as soon as possible before the situation gets worse.

Answer 3

Midnight Runner, Nexium CAN be used for panic attacks IF your attacks are caused by reflux. You have to be on other medication for panic/depression/anxiety.

Reflux disiease can mimic a heart attack, which can trigger a panic attack, which will cause anxiety, which will lead to depression.

Answer 4

panic attacks are caused by an endocrine system imbalance. The symptoms can appear suddenly when your adrenals become exhausted or imbalanced. The depression that follows is a result of insulin, glycogen, cortisone and aldosterone upsets.
